Phones should have FM radio again
(www.spacebar.news)
One of the reasons why I picked the Xiaomi Poco X3
Wdym again?
Bring back vinyl record players!
Mine still does. puts on shades
My phone has an FM radio.
I've listened to it in long international flights just to see how things change.
other than that it serves no purpose whatsoever.
I suppose it could be useful in an emergency but I'd bet just having cell seryqould fair better.
What do you mean again, my smartphone has a radio and it came out in 2019?
Are people missing some ads that they could otherwise be getting with an FM radio on their phone?
Radio has enshittified it's way to being turned off whenever I get in a vehicle that has it turned on, so I'd miss any emergency broadcasts anyway. Can't imagine paying extra to have it on a phone.
IHeartMedia can be blamed for that
